Step
Method 1 of 3: Buying Chicken
Step 1. Buy a whole chicken or a chicken that has been cut into pieces
Step 2. Check the label on the chicken package purchased at the convenience store
Make sure the brand has been recognized as safe by BPOM and has A quality.
Step 3. Check the packaging
Choose chicken that is packaged securely (that is, no rips or holes, and doesn't leak).
Step 4. Check the expiration date on the packaging
Step 5. Check the color of the chicken meat
Chickens are not supposed to be gray. Choose chicken that is white or yellowish.
Step 6. You can store chicken for up to 2 days in the refrigerator
Freeze the chicken immediately if it is not cooking within 2 days of purchase.
Use airtight packaging to freeze the chicken so the meat doesn't freeze (freezer burn)
Method 2 of 3: Handle Safely to Prevent Bacterial Contamination
Step 1. Make sure all kitchen utensils and other utensils that come into contact with raw chicken are clean
Step 2. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), you should not rinse or wash the meat before cooking it (if the meat you purchased was clean and packaged tightly at the convenience store)
Washing can cause cross-contamination in the kitchen. This washing also cannot help decontaminate the meat.
Step 3. After use, thoroughly clean cutting boards, knives and other utensils with soapy water to prevent bacterial growth and cross-contamination with food or other utensils
Method 3 of 3: Making Flour Chicken
Step 1. If the chicken is still whole, cut it into small pieces
Step 2. Crack a few eggs into a bowl
Usually 5 eggs is enough for one chicken, but the exact number of eggs you need will depend on how many chickens you want to cook.
Step 3. Beat the eggs with a fork
Don't shake it until it's foamy.
Step 4. Add water, oil, or both to the beaten eggs
This will keep the egg's consistency runny.
Step 5. Find a shallow plate or bowl
You can also use a plastic bag. Fill it with flour halfway (you can use breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs, or wheat flour.).
Step 6. Add the appropriate seasoning to the flour
You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or coriander powder.
Step 7. Dip chicken pieces in beaten egg
Step 8. Remove the chicken pieces from the bowl
Allow the remaining egg to drip off so that each piece of chicken is covered with a thin layer.
Step 9. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with flour
Roll until everything is evenly coated. If you are using a plastic bag, put the chicken pieces in it and beat the flour in the bag until the chicken is well coated.
Step 10. Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet and cook according to your favorite recipe
You can also fry it on a frying pan according to the family's favorite fried chicken recipe.
Step 11. After use, thoroughly clean all cutting boards, knives and other utensils with soapy water to prevent bacterial growth and cross-contamination with food or other utensils
Step 12. Done
Tips
- Buying a whole chicken that you cut yourself at home saves money. But if you are in a hurry, buying chicken that has been cut into pieces will save more time. You can also opt for a whole chicken to save money and then have the butcher cut it up. Most butchers in convenience stores will provide this service for free.
- Use a little flour at a time, as the flour in the bowl or plastic bag will start to clump as you add more egg-coated chicken pieces to it. Pour in some flour first, then add more as you go if you need to.
- Coating and coating chicken is basically the same technique, but coating chicken in flour usually only uses a mixture of flour and egg (and seasonings), while coating chicken can be with a combination of flour, eggs, and other ingredients such as various spices, nuts, butter., even yogurt. The chicken coating technique also sometimes has a few additional steps to accommodate a wide variety of ingredients and textures.
